The autumn sun catches on the golden350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFazz8ShNl
strands of her hair, and my heart350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcEyKvI3xC
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uMbTlmJf
of summer foliage, and I break350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFxKuTW1gL
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3twM8vq1o
on my arm, and I try to regain350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZLRMzXnw9
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdO37eF7Pp
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFwyDbMlq
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7LGW4p0g7
is one more day." She always tells350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4NNEIxhb
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn4uyvxlRs
and yet we find ourselves 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5ywM1aqR
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE4EAGCF1g
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbxTlq1Epo
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0UrI26za
"just one more day" -- and I wonder350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkJNxeUI2c
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NUEaJgRXO
is colder than death -- and I wonder350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn3HwpapwD
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBr0ZCPRN
but I know time has finally 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlBnkrpz8A
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz3RPHwAyH
and we lay down in the heap350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZPo5mO9t
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg2RKx1lSW
she tells me, and I die just a little350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiAjtc8FRb
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmyPWoE8nd
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5WqRKPA3H
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRAmWFf0VS
Forevermore.
